A Member may be subject to discipline at any time at the Club's sole and absolute discretion or for conduct violating provisions of these Rules and Policies, engaging in any illegal conduct at the Premises, for committing vandalism at the premises, engaging in altercations, or unreasonably disturbing other Members, guests, Staff or neighbors of the Club.

In certain group fitness classes, such as yoga, the instructor may require you to remove footwear for the class as a condition of participation.
Certain group fitness classes require advance booking and reservation, and you will not be permitted to participate in these classes unless you have properly booked and reserved your spot. You may book one (1) class online per class category. The Club may give away your reserved spot if you are not in the class at class start time. If you book online (including through our mobile app), you may cancel a booked class up to three (3) hours before the class starts.
